The candor and simplicity with which she shared all of it is a kind of gift . . . Helpful, moving. -Caitlin Flanagan, The New York Times

The overwhelming message of this book is: We're a lot more resilient than we think we are. But there are things we can do for ourselves, and for other people who are hurting, that will really allow that resilience to bloom. -Katie Couric

I recommend this inspiring book to everyone around the world. None of us can escape sadness, loss, or life's disappointments, so the best option is to find our Option B. -Malala Yousafzai, Nobel Peace Prize winner

Option B is as hopeful as it is heartbreaking. Here are stories of sometimes unimaginable pain and loss, but also of how human beings nonetheless have the capacity to endure and even thrive. This book is not just an absorbing read. It also provides lessons that everyone needs to learn. -Atul Gawande, author of Being Mortal

Sheryl writes about her own heartbreaking experience with a rare honesty. Then she and Adam translate her personal story into a powerful, practical guide for anyone trying to build resilience in their own lives, communities, and companies. It's hard enough to resonate with readers. It's even harder to help them take concrete steps toward a better future. Option B does both. -Bill and Melinda Gates, co-chairs of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

Thoughtful, insightful, and compelling. Both individually and collectively, we all need to understand the power of rehabilitation, recovery, and redemption if we are to overcome adversity.

Like her debut volume, Sandberg's Option B is an optimistic book, even if one riven with sorrow. She argues that after adversity and loss, there is an opportunity for 'post-traumatic growth.' Thus the book is in part a moving memoir. -Rebecca Mead, The New Yorker

Sandberg's new book is tough, full of the raw, painful emotions . . . Option B [has] advice for people who are grieving. But it's also a book for nearly everyone-people who may not know what to say or do in the wake of a tragedy. It's also a deeply optimistic book, framed around the question, what's next? -Rebecca J. Rosen, The Atlantic

Intimate, personal . . . Within Option B there are lessons for leaders who want to make organizations more resilient, help employees recover from a loss-or crisis-and create workplaces that are more prepared to deal with failure. -Jena McGregor, The Los Angeles Times

Admirably honest, optimistic . . . Sandberg shares a great deal of herself and what she has learned. At its core the book helps those who have been felled by despair: a guide both for those who have directly suffered loss and for those who are close to people who have. -The Economist
